The last I read, it told the story of The Preacher and Uncle Enid's thoughts on Mary's baby. The Preacher was furious but he also didn't care at the same because he didn't love his wife Mary anymore. He didn't love her because he loved another woman who he seduced while Mary was visiting her sister. Uncle Enid was paranoid about the baby at first but when the Preacher nor Lady Mercidy(the Preacher's mother) mentioned anything about it he felt fine. Enid was paranoid because he knew that the baby was his.
I think that this part in the book is kind of deppressing because it shows that everyone has something to hide. The Preacher can't get mad at his wife because he had been sleeping with another being aswell. Enid also cannot act as though he is in love with Mary because she is the wife of the Preacher. I think that Reece was influenced greatly by realism because he shows that everyone has something they are hiding.
